More of me trying to make my own little Mario project in #Godot #GodotEngine WITHOUT TUTORIALS as I escape #TutorialHell We have a world boundary (that works) and the player moves -properly-. More coming soon #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

I’ve taken the plunge and am trying to make something small in #Godot #GodotEngine only using tutorials as a reference #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev join me as I escape #TutorialHell

Obviously building games without tutorials to escape #TutorialHell is a massive massive step for me, even if the games are basic. But I prefer making notes from tutorials and then trying to remake the games. Some tutorials out there leave a lot to be desired too #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev #Godot

I’ve made a separate node for playing the background music and now the music doesn’t restart when you retry the game #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev #Godot #GodotEngine #TutorialHell

Almost finished this infinite runner as part of my #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev journey using #Godot #GodotEngine Player can’t infinitely jump anymore, figured that out myself. Scores are stored. We have SFX and music. I don’t like the player death animation looping or the music restarting

Out of #TutorialHell and messing around a bit in #Godot #GodotEngine

That red Koopa turtle was made by me editing the green one in #LibreSprite And I’ve programmed the individual enemies. Still a way to go for this #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

Year 1: "I need to learn more before I can make a real game"

Year 2: "Just one more tutorial"

Year 3: "Why haven't I finished anything"

The tutorial never ends. You have to just start something.

Just want to say I’m *really* enjoying #Godot #GodotEngine I think im breaking out of #TutorialHell and I’m also getting more confident using assets I get from other places - because if you’re doing tutorials in a #Skool group, surely different assets make your project stand out a bit? #GameDev

There is much to say about Subdivision Surface! #blender3d #videogameart #indiegames

Also, I forgot I tried a model with the @grantabbitt.bsky.social animeGirl project back in 2024! I wonder if I should get into that once I'm finished with this one.

Thinking the next step in my #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev journey with #Godot #GodotEngine is remake smaller games I’ve already made and see how much of them I can do. It’s necessary to escape #TutorialHell Then I’ll maybe try to do a Doom clone again?

Spent 3 hrs on a "beginner-friendly" design tutorial. Now my coffee's cold, my soul is crushed, and I've created a masterpiece... that looks like a toddler attacked Photoshop. Is this graphic design or performance art? #designfail #tutorialhell #graphicdesign

#GameDev #IndieDev update using #Godot #GodotEngine We have a little forest and a dungeon, and the player can go between the two. I’ve completed 25/65 of this course, and it might be the last one I do to escape #TutorialHell

Decided to revisit the first #Godot #GodotEngine tutorial course I ever completed. My understanding has increased massively since undertaking specific tutorials and making notes to escape #TutorialHell Feeling more enthusiastic for #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev since my heart really lies in 3D

I’ve only gone and fucking crashed!”

Again escaping #TutorialHell using #Godot #GodotEngine This game was made using notes made whilst watching a tutorial and not referring to the tutorial at all. Really enjoying the progress here, see my chicken scratch notes! #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

This year 2025 I want to actually get back into coding…. Without falling into tutorial hell again.

How do I start ?

Third game of #20GamesChallenge is Frogger. Yes I’ve made this before, but to escape #TutorialHell we use our trusty notebooks and try to optimise things a bit. Player character is fully animated, have used onready variables and world boundaries #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev #Godot #GodotEngine
